"We could still smell fuel leaking"

Witness Kerry Foster who helped the injured couple in the overturned car said: “The smoke subsided before the emergency services arrived, but we could still smell fuel leaking.

“I asked someone to turn off the ignition and remove the keys, hoping that the vehicle wouldn’t ignite as we were still quite close to it and it would have meant having to move the couple again, further away.”

"We could see the overturned vehicle on the grass"

Kerry Foster, who helped the two injured people at the scene, said: “My daughter and I noticed a huge plume of dust ahead as we were driving towards Slough. It seems the dust was where the vehicle had come off the M4 and along the ditch to the left of the hard shoulder. As we approached, we could see the overturned vehicle on the grass and smoke was coming from the front of it.”
